Ideas from 3 recent training sessions have come together to provide another For Impact FRAMEWORK that we think can really help you execute on our Sales-Driven, Top-Down, Predispose-Present-Follow-Up Methodology.
Here’s the visual [pdf handout here].
These 3 Concentric Circles represent a great way to look at your organization’s ‘TALENT’… and how it might be most effectively used.
The Blue-Red-Green Team is a great visual, frame and answer re: ‘How to Get Visit‘.
- Use your ‘Blue’ Team to help with predisposition, open doors, and even set up the visit.
- ‘Blue’ Team can be engaged before the visit, on the visit or after the visit
- ‘Blue’ Team represents best example of 3 Degrees of Separation. (Kevin Bacon/6 Degrees actually 2.78. Less than ‘3 moves’ from any other actor.)
Note:
-
- In many cases, you are only
1 person
- removed from who you want to see.
-
- *This is especially true in
Ireland
-
- and
North Dakota.
- ‘Blue’ Team never goes alone/solo on a visit!
- *We don’t do ‘peer-to-peer’ solicitation. Just ‘trading dollars’. Always a professional staff person engaged on visit.
- ‘Red’ Team can also help with visits, especially with phone follow-up and call backs.
- ‘Green’ Team is always the R.M. (Relationship Manager). No exceptions to this. (But, doesn’t mean they have to be on every visit.)
This visual provided a real EPIPHANY/EUREKA moment for a College Sales Team: Deans can help get visit, but the Deans don’t have to be on every visit. And, they (‘Green’ Team) don’t have to set up every visit themselves.
Action: Use this Team Selling framework to increase the number of visits… and your closes/commitments.
Note: This framework works for a ‘Business’ Sales Team as well. Share it with your Board as a ‘nugget’ they might find helpful.
Special Invitation: I will be covering this as one of the ideas/nuggets in next week’s teleseminar ON PROSPECTS. SIGN UP HERE!!!
